I have two of them. Got the first for cheap, liked it so much I got another. They are discrete tube pres, point to point wiring. They have 3 12ax7s and a rectifier or something-- one of the 12ax7s is for the eq circuit (phono) so you don't need it... so you can take that out and use it for something else or keep it as a spare. These are really nice sounding pres with tons of gain and very low noise.

This was done with a nortronics ra-100:

That was with a b&k mic, so YMMV, but I like these a lot with any condenser, or ribbon, or dynamic...
